User Guidelines
The STOTT PILATES Reformer is a sophisticated piece of equipment
that, when used properly, can facilitate many Pilates exercises
safely and effectively. However, care and caution must be taken
as there are some inherent dangers when using any exercise
equipment – especially when spring resistance is involved.
For inexperienced or first-time users, Reformers should only
be used under the supervision of a trained professional.
This manual includes general guidelines for setup and usage.
To get the most out of your Reformer, Merrithew Health & Fitness
offers instructional DVDs and manuals. Personalized training is
offered through our Licensed and Corporate Training Centers.

Care & Cleaning
Wipe vinyl surfaces with a mixture of water and tea tree oil, a
natural disinfectant. Add 1tsp of tea tree oil to a 1L or 1qt spray
bottle of water. A mixture of mild soap and water may be used to
remove more persistent dirt. Ensure cleaner does not leave an oily
residue, or make surfaces slippery.
Clean channels, rails and rollers weekly with a damp cloth.
Avoid spraying liquid directly onto surfaces.
CAUTION: Never use oil lubricants as they may damage rollers.
IMPORTANT!
